Phalaenopsis are easy to re-bloom -- you just have to know a few simple tricks of the trade.
Orchids depend on a change in temperature, just like many other plants, to know
when to bloom each year. We recommend placing the plant outside (if it is not already outside) in the Fall when the temperatures start dropping into the 50s at night. If the temperature drops below 55 F, bring the plant in for the night, but leave it outside for at least 30 days when the temperature is between 55 F and 65 F. The plant should begin spiking which will develop into buds and eventually blooms. It normally takes around 100 days to go from spiking to the first bloom opening.
To increase the number of spikes and blooms, place the plant in cooler temperatures in the evening and warmer temperatures during the day with higher than normal light levels.
